About this Slot
Maelstrom is a mythology and fantasy slot from Hyper Play with an RTP of 96.7%, high volatility and a maximum win of 50,000x. The game uses six reels and five rows with Cluster Pays mechanics, where matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. Wins cascade as winning symbols are removed and new symbols fall to fill empty spaces.
The Maelstrom symbol collects all Doubloons present on the board when it lands. Multiple Maelstrom symbols each collect the same Doubloons independently, allowing values to accumulate across the reels. The Leviathan symbol carries a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x, and multiplies each Maelstrom's collected value including any prior collections. When multiple Leviathans land together, they multiply cumulatively for increased win potential.
Three Bonus symbols trigger 10 free spins. Four Bonus symbols trigger Super free spins instead. Five Bonus symbols trigger the Hidden Bonus feature. During free spins, Maelstrom symbols become sticky and remain on the board across all spins. Sticky Maelstroms grow with each Doubloon collection during the free spins round. All Maelstroms pay out together when the free spins feature ends.
Bonus features can be purchased directly through the Swell Bet option at 2x bet, the Tempest Bet option at 10x bet, the Storm Surge option at 100x bet, the Hidden Bonus option at 500x bet, or the Eye of the Storm option at 1,000x bet.
